When asked by K2 Radio News about the device, the Deputy told us to ask the folks at the federal building.

The Federal Protective Service made the call for the sheriff's team, and the device was removed for analysis.

The building was not shut down or evacuated. The Casper Police cordoned off a small area behind the federal offices, near the BNSF building, while the Deputy retrieved the package, and the area was cleared by 4pm.
